Privacy Policy

No Free Lunch

Businesses have to make money to stay in business.  You pay for most free stuff on the Internet by viewing unwanted adds or by allowing others–knowingly or unknowingly–to collect information about you and sell it to others.  Users of Internet services are now beginning to realize that when an online service is free, you’re not the customer. You’re the product.

But at 2bme, we believe a great customer experience shouldn’t come at the expense of unwanted ads or your privacy. Our business model is very straightforward: We sell a great product. We don’t sell advertising.  We don’t build a profile based on your email content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don’t “monetize” the information you store on your phone or on our Site. And we don’t read your email or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make your online and offline experience better. Plain and simple.

How do we protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our database where only persons authorized with special access rights who are required to keep the information confidential can access it.

We do not collect or store your passwords to connected accounts. Instead, we use a computer protocol called OAUTH that allows us to store tokens provided by the third-party content provider that serve in place of your password.  These tokens expire periodically for added security. Here’s how OAUTH works.  When you log in to 2bme and authorize a connected account, we direct you to the service you want to authorize, and you log in there.  Let’s use Twitter as an example.  When you log in to Twitter, Twitter will ask if you want to authorize 2bme.  When you do, Twitter sends us a token (a long string of encrypted characters) that allows us to fetch data from them about your tweets.  Because we never collect and store your password, if our security is ever compromised, you are not at risk of having your Twitter password exposed.  We collect content from your connected accounts to display on your personal web utility. We do not store this content or track your activity when using your personal web utility.

Do we use cookies?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enable the site or service provider to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain limited information such as how you navigate the Site.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
